"Damn it!"
As Majin Buu flashed in front of him, Raditz's expression changed drastically. He immediately transformed, unleashing his strongest form, Super Saiyan Blue.
Several years had passed. Although Raditz's progress could not compare to Goku's, and perhaps even fell short of Vegeta's relentless efforts to push himself, he had successfully attained Super Saiyan Blue and become quite proficient with it.
After all, Raditz had grasped Super Saiyan God early on through the Super Saiyan God ritual. With several years to train, attaining Super Saiyan Blue alone had been easy enough.
Yet rather than being alarmed by Raditz's immediate transformation into Super Saiyan Blue, Majin Buu was delighted. Excitement filled his expression, because this was exactly what he had been waiting for.

Bam!
Facing Majin Buu, whose power had risen straight to tier nine after absorbing Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta, Super Saiyan Blue Raditz was covered by the flesh the Majin separated from his body before he could put up any meaningful resistance, just like Vegeta before him.

All of this happened within a few breaths. By the time everyone reacted, the two strongest fighters among them
